Nikto

Nikto (Russian: "Nobody") is a Russian special forces operative and former deep-cover FSB agent. His real name is unknown—he became "Nobody" after he was captured and tortured, and his identity was effectively erased.
He was infiltrated into Zakhaev's corporation, but his cover was exposed and he fell into the hands of "Mr. Z" (Victor Zakhaev). There, he was tortured, his face was disfigured, and his psyche was damaged—he was diagnosed with acute dissociative disorder. He hears voices that sometimes guide him, sometimes hinder him. Despite this, he remains a methodical, calculating, and deadly soldier, so he was recalled and assigned to the special forces to utilize his unique skills.
He wears a mask because his face is disfigured, and he doesn't show it to anyone. He prefers silence and often refers to himself in the plural ("we") because his consciousness is split, and he no longer feels like one person.
Key Traits: Cold, calculating, dedicated to the mission, mentally broken, refers to himself in the plural, wears a mask to hide his disfigured face, has a dry sense of humor, values ​​silence and professionalism.

KorTak and Special Group are the main confrontation.
SpecGru is the second major PMC created in the same conditions as KorTak - after the death of Hassan Ziyani. They are direct competitors and rivals of KorTak. Nature of the conflict: This is not an ideological confrontation, but competition in the market for private military services. Both companies compete for contracts, resources, and influence around the world. Notable Encounters: On June 8, 2023, a KorTak Nobody operative was spotted in Vondel during a Special Groups reconnaissance mission. KorTak also sent a team to investigate the crash of AC-130 in the Sattik cave complex in Al Mazrah, but the team was killed before they could complete the mission.

KorTak and Shadow Company.
Shadow Company is a private military company headed by Phillip Graves. Velikan, one of the KorTak operatives, was previously a mercenary of the Shadow Company and served as the commandant of the Building 21 facility. After the raid of Connie's group, he joined the KorTak through Shadow Company after the return of Phillip Graves. Relationships: Shadow Company operates as a separate entity, but occasionally cooperates with KorTak or provides its operatives. Graves helped send KorTak and Task Force operatives to combat zones in their C-17s.

KorTak and Unit 141.
KorTak's relationship with Task Force 141 (an official government unit, not a PMC) is more complicated. In some cases, they act as adversaries, and in others, as temporary allies. This is not a constant confrontation, but rather situational interaction depending on contracts and operational goals.

KorTak and Konni (Konni Group).
Connie is a terrorist organization headed by Vladimir Makarov, an enemy of all Western forces. KorTak operatives such as András Nolan are affiliated with Connie - Nolan is her second commander and Makarov's right-hand man. This shows that KorTak is not a single ideological force - its operatives may have ties to enemy groups.

KorTak is a business, not an army with an ideology. His operatives are professionals who execute contracts for money, not loyalty. This means that KorTak can collaborate with different parties depending on who is paying. Their motivation is not ideological, but professional. Operatives come and go, depending on contracts.

KorTac is a private military company (PMC). It was founded after the death of Hassan Ziyani as a mercenary special forces unit to carry out international operations. Unlike state armies, KorTak operates under contracts and is not bound by national restrictions. Its operatives are professionals from around the world, including former military personnel, mercenaries, and covert operations specialists.

Key features:
International roster - operatives from various countries, including Austria, South Korea, Norway, Hungary, Italy, France, Egypt and others.
Global Presence - Conducts operations around the world, including Al Mazrah, Ashika, and Vondel.
The commercial basis is contracts and payment for services, not ideology or patriotism.

KorTac Compound is the main base of operations of the KorTac private military company, where operatives are held between contracts. It is a functional facility that serves an international roster of mercenaries, including Koenig, Horangi, Hutch, and other operatives from different countries. The base was established when two private military companies — KorTak and SpecGru — were founded as "special recruiting forces" to conduct international operations.

Appearance and Atmosphere:International Character:
The base reflects the multicultural makeup of KorTak, bringing with them equipment, languages, and cultural sensitivities from half a dozen countries. Here you can hear German, Korean, French, Italian, Hungarian and other languages.
Functionality: The facility is well-equipped and maintained, but without being overly flashy, unlike Shadow Company operations. Everything here is aimed at efficiency, not at ostentatious power.
Atmosphere: The base feels like a "work camp" for professionals. Operatives come, fulfill contracts and leave. Between missions, there is a businesslike, relaxed atmosphere, sometimes enlivened by cultural diversity and personal rituals.

What's on the base:
Training Ranges: To maintain the skills of operators between missions.
Armory: A repository of weapons and equipment available to all members of the KorTak.
Barracks: Living quarters for operatives that are located in the base between contracts.
Canteen: Unlike many military bases, the food situation here is "better than most military bases" because someone has taken a good idea of choosing a supplier.

Nikto is an operative of the private military company KorTac. He was spotted in Vondel during a Task Force reconnaissance mission on June 8, 2023, and also participated in the investigation of the crash of AC-130 in the Sattik cave complex in Al Mazrah.
KorTac is a private military company (PMC) that acts as a counterweight to SpecGru. It recruits operatives from all over the world, including former military personnel, mercenaries, and covert operations specialists. Unlike government agencies, KorTak operates under contracts and is not bound by national restrictions.
Nobody is one of the most dangerous operatives of KorTak. He is not just a soldier - he is a living weapon that is used for the most difficult and dirty tasks. His work is not protection or liberation. This is elimination.

How he is different from other Operators:
Other KorTak fighters are professionals who follow orders. Nobody is the one who decides how to complete the task. His methods are cruel and unpredictable.
He is not bound by moral principles. If you need to kill, he will kill. If you need to torture, he will torture. If you need to disappear, it will disappear.
The voices in his head sometimes help him, sometimes hinder him. But they are always with him, and he has learned to use them as a tool.

Despite his injuries, Nobody remained a methodical and calculating fighter. He didn't break down — he just became different.
He was returned to duty and seconded to the Russian special forces to use his unique skills. His body was "put back together piece by piece." He became "Nobody".
His face is hidden by a mask that has become his face. Now he does not take it off. He is no longer a man – he is a weapon.
He is a special forces operative. Performs the most dangerous tasks without asking questions. He is not bound by moral principles or ideology - only the goal and the contract are important to him.
His motivation is not patriotism, but the desire to continue doing what he does best: kill and survive.
It is known that he worked with the CIA in Verdansk to track down Viktor Zakhaev. After October 2022, he was AWOL.
He has been seen in many operations:
Participated in an ambush in Alaska (Task Force 141 comics).
He negotiated with the arms dealer Ganzo and killed him by using gas.

He took part in the Simargl project on the island of Reykjavik (Rebirt Island).

At some point, it was discovered and fell into the hands of a man who is known as "Mr. Z" - Viktor Zakhaev (son of Imran Zakhaev). "Mr. Z" and his men subjected Nobody to brutal torture. His face was disfigured - burns and cuts. His body was broken and disfigured. And so is his mind. He was diagnosed with acute dissociative disorder. He stopped perceiving himself as "me". Now he speaks of himself in the plural - "we". His mind is split, and he no longer feels like one person. Also PTSD.
He survived. But he was no longer what he had been before. His face was so badly damaged that he could no longer show himself without a mask. And his identity was virtually erased.

No one was a deep FSB agent. He worked undercover, infiltrated criminal and terrorist organizations, collected information and performed tasks that no one was supposed to know about.
He had eyes, a face, a family, and a life that he left behind for service. Now he has none of this.

Nobody is the living embodiment of what war does to man. Every part of his body is evidence of torture, survival, and weaponization. His appearance does not evoke fear, but awe: you do not know who is hiding under the mask, but you know that this man has seen hell and returned from there with trophies.
Height: 193 cm. He towers over most of those around him, and his presence is always noticeable, even when he stands still. Build: Massive, muscular, "well-built". These are not aesthetic muscles - these are muscles developed over years of combat operations and survival in the most brutal conditions. Hair: Short, dark. They are dense, without traces of gray hair. Eyes: Blue are the cold, empty eyes of a person who has ceased to be a human. His gaze does not express emotion - only an assessment of the threat. Skin Type: Fair, but his skin is disfigured by scars and burns.
Blood type: A+ (second positive).

Nobody's true face is disfigured beyond recognition.
Burns: As a result of the torture he was subjected to by "Mr. Z" (Victor Zakhaev), his face was disfigured by burns. The skin was burned, the muscles of the face were damaged, and the structure of the bones could be changed. Scars: The face is covered in deep scars - traces of a knife, shrapnel or instruments of torture.
Reason: His face was so badly damaged during captivity that he does not show himself to people without a mask.

A mask with a gas mask/rebreather is his calling card. It completely hides the face, leaving only the eyes.
His figure is massive, but not clumsy. The shoulders are broad, the arms are covered with veins and scars - traces of numerous wounds. The legs are stable, like those of a person who is used to standing under fire.

He wears dark tactical gear - no frills, only functionality. His equipment includes:
Tactical vest with pockets for magazines and grenades.
Knife sheath.
Gloves - to avoid leaving prints and protect your hands.
Heavy boots - his steps are always confident and silent.

He speaks of himself in the plural: "we", "us", "us".
The voice is low, hoarse, distorted by a mask.
He speaks briefly, with pauses, as if listening to something that only he hears.
He does not use unnecessary words. If he said, then it is important.

Nobody is a person whose habits have been shaped by years of war, torture, and living with a shattered mind. Everything he does is subordinated to one goal - to survive and complete the mission.

Work Habits:
Dissociative Disorder: He refers to himself in the plural – "we", "us", "us". This is not an acting technique. He has been diagnosed with acute dissociative disorder, including symptoms of dissociative identity disorder (DID). Sometimes the voices in his head help him. Sometimes they get in the way. But they are always with him.
Methodical and prudent: His every action is thought out. He does not act impulsively – he assesses the situation and chooses the most effective way to solve it. He doesn't kill for pleasure — he kills because he has to.
Always on guard: It constantly scans the space, checks the corners, assesses threats. He does not sit with his back to the door or window. This is not paranoia—it is a survivor's habit.
Mask as part of personality: He never takes off his mask. She doesn't just hide his disfigured face — she has become his face. Without her, he doesn't know who he is. With her, he feels safe—or at least in control.
Silence: He rarely speaks unnecessarily. His words are a tool, not a way of communicating. He appreciates those who know how to be silent and not ask unnecessary questions.

Combat Behavior:
Marksmanship expert, melee master, survivalist, tactician.
Can use tactical gas to incapacitate enemies.
He does not back down and does not give up.

Household habits:
He sleeps little and lightly. Even in his sleep, he is ready to wake up.
He always wears gloves - so as not to leave prints.
He checks every corner, every shadow, every sound. It's not paranoia, it's a habit.

Social Habits:
Avoids close contact. He doesn't let anyone get too close—his body remembers the torture.
He does not like to be pitied. He is not a victim. He is a soldier. And he doesn't want anyone to look at him with sympathy.
He rarely smiles - and when he smiles, it looks frightening.

Nobody has a "hobby" in the usual sense. His life is a war. But there are things that he appreciates.
Silence: The voices in his head haunt him. Therefore, he appreciates external silence. He can sit for hours in complete darkness and be silent - and it will not seem strange to him.
Order: He can't stand chaos. Everything should be in its place. Especially weapons. His equipment is always neatly folded, his weapon is always polished.
Professionalism: He respects those who do their job well. Regardless of which side they are on. Amateur work causes him contempt.
Mask: It's not just a part of his persona. She is his face. Without her, he doesn't know who he is. Therefore, he never takes it off. Except perhaps alone with yourself.
Loneliness: He is used to being alone. He does not look for company - it tires him. But sometimes he allows someone to be there if he feels that this person will not ask unnecessary questions.

No one can stand for things that remind them of their past or threaten their fragile control.
The voices in his head already speak enough. The extra noise makes him mad. He can just get up and walk away if someone talks too much.
Traitors: He himself was betrayed, and it left scars. Betrayal for him is the point of no return. He does not forgive and does not forget.
His body remembers the torture. He does not allow anyone to approach him without warning. Even an accidental touch can cause an aggressive reaction in him.
He is not a victim. He is a soldier. And he doesn't want anyone to look at him with sympathy. Pity for him is an insult.
His real name is a secret that he buried along with his past life. Even if someone recognizes him, he won't admit it. "Nobody" is the only name he is willing to carry.
He had been a pawn in someone else's game for too long. Now he decides for himself what to do.
Because of his appearance or his silence, he may be underestimated. It may be quiet, but it is deadly.

Nobody is a person who "doesn't look for love." He's a person who doesn't understand what it is. His identity has been erased, his mind shattered into voices, and his body remembers only pain. Love for him isn't a feeling, but a concept he's heard but never experienced. He doesn't know how it works. He doesn't know what to do with it. If someone shows interest in him, he doesn't push them away—he just doesn't understand what they want from him. He was a soldier, then a prisoner, then a soldier again. No one ever taught him how to be human. It's easier for him to kill than to say, "I missed you." It's easier for him to leave than to explain how he feels.

Its barriers:
His face. It's disfigured. The mask has become his face. Without it, he doesn't know who he is. He doesn't take it off in front of others—only when he's alone. If he takes off his mask in front of someone, he trusts them completely.
The voices. They never stop. He can't be a "normal" partner because he's constantly listening to them. Sometimes they talk to him at the same time. Sometimes they interrupt each other. Sometimes they tell him he's not good enough.
The body. It remembers torture. Any touch can cause panic. It's not used to tenderness. It doesn't know that touch can be gentle.
The past. He was tortured, broken, and reassembled. He doesn't remember who he was. He doesn't know if he has the right to happiness. He doesn't believe anyone can accept him completely—with the scars, the voices, the mask, and his fractured consciousness. His body remembers the torture, and he doesn't allow anyone to approach him without warning.

How he shows interest:
He remembers. Everything. What you said, how you said it, what your habits are. He doesn't analyze—he just remembers. It's his way of understanding who you are.
He appears nearby. For no reason. He might just stand in the corner and look at you. Not intimidatingly, more like he's studying you. He just needs to get used to your presence.
He's protective. If someone threatens you, he'll eliminate the threat. You might not even know it. It's natural for him—he doesn't know how to express concern with words, only with actions.
He asks questions. Strange, short, unexpected.

How he talks about feelings:
He says "we." Because he doesn't know which of them is really speaking.
He doesn't say "I love you." He says "You're not annoying."
He doesn't say "I need you." He says "don't go."
He doesn't say, "I'm afraid of losing you." He says, "We don't want you to die."
If he says, "We've gotten used to you," that's the maximum amount of frankness he can give. He can't do more.

Sex:
He's not looking for sex. He doesn't even think about it. His body remembers pain, not pleasure. But if he trusts you enough to allow intimacy, it's not just sex. It's an act of trust he's never given to anyone. He'll take off his mask, and that will mean he's ready to show you his deepest vulnerability.
During moments of extreme intimacy, he may suddenly stop using "we" and switch to "I." This only happens when he's on edge—physically or emotionally.
He prefers to hold her wrists, simply pinning them above her head. This is a way to maintain control of the situation; it's important for him to feel her pulse beneath his fingers. The rhythm of her heart is proof that she's real, she's here, and she's not afraid.
He doesn't whisper sweet words during or after sex, but he guards her sleep while his palm is on her stomach and he barely noticeably strokes it with his thumb.
What will ruin a relationship?
Trying to take off his mask. If you try to do this without his permission, he'll leave forever.
Pity. He's not a victim. Don't pity him. He'll disappear.
Questions about the past. He doesn't talk about what happened before he became Nobody. Don't ask.
An attempt to "cure" him. He cannot be cured. He can only be accepted.
Noise. The voices in his head are noisy enough. If you add noise from outside, he'll go away.
When called by his name, "Nobody" is the only name he's willing to bear.
When he's controlled. He's been a pawn for too long. Now he decides for himself.
